AN: Here is chapter 5. Chapter 6 next week.

"What about your father?"

"And what about your sister?" Elliot inquired.

"Well, my father always knew who I was and I knew who he was and we talked like, for my birthday, and his, but that was pretty much it. My sister was happy she wasn't the only girl any more, so we had a closer relationship than with my father. See, he and my mother had an affair, which resulted in me… and his wife knew, and for some reason, don't ask me why 'cause I have absolutely no idea, she gave him another chance, and he took it. She knew, though, that she couldn't keep Becky from seeing me and hanging out with me, she just couldn't keep an eye on her all the time. I think Becky had just finished high school when I was born or something like that. Becky and my mother got along fine… I think you'll have to ask her about that, I don't think I ever asked her how she could forgive our father for having an affair, or how or why she got along with my mom like that… my brothers weren't so understanding… they were both in college, Charlie and Colin, we've never talked… the only think that bonds us is our father's blood, but that's about it, not that I care… Bobby's more like a brother to me than they both put together could ever be."

"And how did in come to staying at his apartment?"

"I came back in January, to see my sister, to see Bobby and James, to see my friends… I had turned 13 already… We had talked, Bobby and I. We had talked almost every day since the day I left, and we had agreed that I'd stay with him. He picked my up at the airport and we went to the office. He had work so I went to my school to say hi to my friends… he doesn't have a spare bedroom, and I was much smaller than him so I took the couch (I had never expected him to take the couch…). The next morning he went to work before I woke up. When he came back that night I had a fever… he made soup. I remember I woke up in the middle of the night screaming because I'd had a nightmare… it had been so real… so stupid, but so real. I told him I didn't want to be alone and so he just hold me… he's hold me every night I stayed with him since. But it was never, never, more than that. He just holds me." Rachel said looking at the detectives.

"So," Elliot stopped and sighed. "You've seen sleeping in the same bed as him since you're 13 years old?"

"Yes. And it's just sleep, detective."

"This is why your sister called us, right? She knew about this?" Elliot questioned.

"I guess, but Becky never gave me a chance to explain…"

"So, is your sister's name Rebecca Mitchells?"

"Mitchells was my mother's last name. It's Carolyn…"
